JS is horse shit. Instead of trying to improve it or using that high level scripting language as a compilation target (wtf?!), we should deprecate it entirely and put all efforts into web assembly.
Idk anything about web assembly but I 100% agree that JS is absurd and feels like it was created in a weekend by some schmuck who just wanted to be able to edit html on the fly because it was.
That's basically how it happened.
(That's the joke!)
"JS is bad" is hardly even a lukewarm take.
To me it seems like the internet is full of JS apologists. Maybe it's just YouTube xD
How is this a hot take?
"show hn: I made a JavaScript engine in webassembly using rust"
At that point, just make a typescript engine so people don’t have to build their TS projects anymore
Is this a hot take? You're absolutely correct lol.
